उत्तर
In the presence of conc. acids such as H3PO4 and H2SO4 alcohols undergo dehydration to yield alkenes.
\[\ce{\underset{Ethanol}{H3C - CH2 - OH} ->[conc{.} H+/\Delta] \underset{Ethene}{CH2 = CH2} + H2O}\]
The mechanism for this reaction is:
Step 1: Protonation of ethanol:
Step 1: Formation of carbocation:
Step 3: Formation of ethene and regeneration of proton:
